New deployments of X-Payments v1.0 are not allowed after October 28th 2013 ?

Hi Alex,

Can you please clarify the email that I just received:

Quote:

New deployments of X-Payments v1.0 are not allowed after October 28th 2013 due to the PCI Council regulations for PA-DSS certified applications.

After October 28th 2013 for new deployments X-Payments 2.0 is needed as it is PA-DSS 2.0 certified - you can see X-Payments 2.0 listed on the PA-DSS certified applications list on PCI Council web-site as ⌠X-Cart Payments■ (see a screen shot below, too).

Does this mean that if my server were to crash and I had to restore from backup, would I not be permitted to do so by PCI Council? Would x-payments 1.0.x prohibit a restore? Or If I need to move my server or IP for the x-p install, I am not permitted to do so? Or I can't re-install/re-provision on a different server? Seriously?

Re: New deployments of X-Payments v1.0 are not allowed after October 28th 2013 ?

The email is very confusing indeed. I think what they are saying is that after end of October 2013 X-Payment 1.x will not be available for purchase - they cannot sell it anymore. But if you have v.1.x in production already you can continue using it and there is no need for an upgrade to v.2 unless you want to.

Re: New deployments of X-Payments v1.0 are not allowed after October 28th 2013 ?

This is not related to backups, servers, IPs, etc.
This is about deploying X-Payments v1 for new businesses after October 28th 2013, i.e. as Steve said - buying and installing new X-Payments v1 licenses are not possible after October 28th 2013.

And yes, existing deployments of v1 can be used without time limitation.

Sorry if I ask this again.

Now I have X-payments v1 installed but it has never processed a real transaction through a live gateway. If I plan to sign up a new account (eg. with Authorized.net) and connect to a live gateway after October 28th, can I still use v1 ? Will Authorize.net (or other companies) allow a new account using X-payments V1 to connect with their gateway after October 28th?

Re: New deployments of X-Payments v1.0 are not allowed after October 28th 2013 ?

Pumin2, I think you should consult with your payment account provider.

From our understanding of the deadline - you can't use a new X-Payments v1 installation for a new business after October 28th. Since yours one wasn't in use with a real gateway before Oct 28th 2013 you may be considered as trying to use it after the deadline. I suggest you to make a couple of real transactions today while it is not too late.
